we decided to go mountain biking without the mountain on the trails behind my house today. what a nice exercise until it got unbearably muddy which actually made it a little more fun. at one point my foot just kept sliding in the mud and i could not keep myself up on my bike. that caused me to laugh which caused me to get even more out of breath which caused me to ride at a pace of 1 mile an hour. I think i'm allergic to some plant out there though. my hands started itching, it was disgusting.

then we decided to pull out the snake's bush and do some bush trimming. an elderly neighbor from a few doors down came over to say hi but didn't say much of anything else which was awkward. very awkward. we kinda just stared a lot at each other. he was wearing a mighty pink shirt which looked pretty nice on him. i bet he's happy pink is now popular once again and he can wear it. as a matter of fact, i'm wearing pink too. what's with that. why is pink the new 'it' color?

today was terribly productive.

we got a satellite installed today. unfortunately we don't get bravo anymore. i guess i'll live. we are saving 40-50$ per month with the new arrangement. that's 480-600$ per year. wowo. with DVR too.

i'm tired. to sleep i go.

wa whahah fhwlaloi

I have a presentation today which is more like a mock interview with a partner. we had to make up all the questions and the answers which is a lot harder than i thought. i didn't think i would get nervous but i'm feeling nervous this morning. we have to mock it in front of the whole class which is also awkward because i don't really know anyone and i have to act like i've had two strokes.

i should shower.

i hate titles

I put up a new UserPic. This is proof that on average I wasn't very cute and that I had what I would call, "a minor mullet." I got my hair cut like that all because my friend in 2nd grade cut her hair like that. I was such a copier.

and on another note:

i finally bought grass seed today so i could rip out the eyesore of a bush we have growing. its kinda of like ground cover but if you let it grow it gets taller and taller. of course before i actually get to do it, I saw this:

I think i'll wait for derek to come home so he can rip it out while i scream.

the odd thing is that I have a snake... but i don't let it slither around like a wild man or bite me. i'm afraid of what else is under there.. ewww!!

GReAT Greyhound Rescue Adoption Team

This Sunday, September 19th is "Hiking for Hounds." Its a huge greyhound fundraiser at Ellicott Creek Park. I just found out about it at PETCO who is "Greyhound Planet's" major sponsor.

There is registration and all of that, some auctions, a 1/2 or 2 mile walk and then a picnic. All breeds are welcome but no bitches in heat, no pups under 6 months, and your dog must behave appropriately. Bring proof of rabies shot.

begins at 10am. goes until 2pm.

I am going to bring Katie to meet her cousins.

Here is a link to the site:

and a link to GReAT's Buffalo site

I just wanted to write in case anyone searches for this event. Maybe it'll come up.

Here's Katie when we went camping in Allegheny.

pack mentality or not, those kids are sick. besides punishment, all should have psychiatric counseling. wasn't the puppy crying? it had to have, and they kept on beating it. what's next? someone should kick their asses, see how they like it. i just looked over at my doggy and I just got more upset. awful awful awful.

Cool, my friend Jen used to work at Carriage Trade. I love their white chocolate/apricot scones. mm. They also did my wedding cake. Mmmm. Carriage Trade used to be next to Pano's but they moved up to that new location. Here's a picture, I left the date on there because its the most wrong it could be. Wrong day and year! Mom could have fixed the date, ya know?

devil in an electronic casing

katie actually made so much noise getting a pack of kit kat out of my bookbag i could hear it up on the "third" floor. thank goodness i went to see what was happening before they were gone. i love kit kat.

i was pondering today as i watched people on their cell phones walking around campus. just last week i was at office max and this customer was talking to a sales associate. i was waiting for my turn so i was watching. they were talking about head phones or something. then the customer's cell rang and he just interrupted the sales associate by answering the phone.

when did it become ok to interrupt anyone, nevermind some guy who is trying to help you buy something so you can answer your cell???
